PC power on/off switch controller circuit

PC power on/off switch controller circuit

I'm looking for a simple PC power on/off controller circuit.  The standard PC power supply provides +5VSB but all my digital logic runs on +3.3V.  The PC front panel switch is a momentary switch that is used to turn the PC by pulling the power supply PC_on# line low and holding it low until the momentary switch is pressed again.  Is there a circuit / power management chip available that can perform this function already available, or do I have to get creative?

Thanks for anyone's help in advance!!!

Randy

    I think you'll need to get creative.  It sounds like a simple flip flop circuit.  Good luck
